Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Abdominal ultrasounds are not invasive procedures, and do not require a consent form.
Rationale 2: The recommendation is that the patient have a full bladder to help elevate the uterus out of the pelvic cavity for better visualization.
Rationale 3: Patients are placed in a supine position on the table.
Rationale 4: Dietary intake is not relevant to the ultrasound.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale:Parents experience chronic sorrow as they grieve when their child does not meet developmental milestones or participate in activities of normal children. The time between periods of grieving may be times of parental denial, which allows the family to function.Compassion fatigue is experienced by caregivers as their ability to feel compassion is exhausted.Dysfuncti onal parenting involves inadequately meeting the needs of children.Pathologic al grieving results when persons do not move through the stages of grief to resolution.
